## Abstract The radar observations along the vertical of precipitation in stratiform clouds are compared with the theoretical growth rates of ice crystals in such clouds. The analysis indicates that no liquid water exists in these clouds at levels above about β5Β°C. The variation of signal strength

## Abstract In a recent paper on the effect of turbulence on droplet collisions in clouds, Woods, Drake and Goldsmith (1972) proposed that the principal factor was the strong spectral peak of shear near the Kolmogoroff microβscale. This hypothesis led to an important simplification, namely that spa
## Abstract Calculations of collision rates between cloud droplets in turbulent air show that this would be an effective precipitation mechanism in cumulus if the r.m.s. turbulent acceleration were about 3 times that due to gravity. An estimated value, based on published records of flights through
